App Launch

November 12, 2017

After months of developing we are delighted to launch SwapSlide in Ireland on Android. The concept was inspired from the story of Kyle McDonald who in 14 trades strated off with a paperclip and ended up with a house. To acquire something of that much greater value with no cash exchange is quite remarkable. We thought this was a really cool idea but the process could be simplified. What if Kyle only engaged with people who had a mutual swapping interest and didn’t have to engage with people where there was none. Would he have ended up with the house faster? Could he have ended up something of even more value? SwapSlide only connects people with a mutual swapping interest who are located nearby. There is no cash exchanged. Anything can be swapped from video games to automotives to guitar lessons! The concept is centered around the fact that everyone has a different perception of value.

We are really excited to launch the app. Bare in mind as with most app launches there will be bugs. So bare with us as we get these ironed out over the coming weeks. If you have any ideas or suggestions that could help us improve the app we would love to hear from you! Just email social@swapslide.com.
